EMMERDALE’s April Windsor has come face to face with a vile man she endured during her time living on the streets.
The teen, who spent time pregnant and homeless, unwittingly ran into a man who she encountered during her time sleeping rough.
Fans of Emmerdale will recall how April disappeared at Christmas amid her secret pregnancy and family unrest.
She lived on the streets before eventually finding a squat where she stayed and begged for cash on the streets as well as witnessing brutal murders and attacks.
April suffered her own trauma when she miscarried whilst homeless before being raced to hospital suffering from complications.
Now, in scenes broadcast during the latest Emmerdale episode, April is forced to relive her horror ordeal when she comes face-to-face with a man who suggested he could perform a disgusting act on her because she was homeless.
In the episode, April began working alongside Belle and the Take A Vow business amid struggles with schooling.
She was tasked with helping out with a local christening and filming the day’s proceedings.
But when the dad of the child set to be christened walked into The Woolpack, April was visibly taken aback.
A flashback then saw April sleeping rough as two drunk guys approached her.
One man could be heard asking: “Why are we so wasted?”
The other man then stated that he was “bursting” in a reference to needing to use the toilet.

His pal then shockingly encouraged him to “go on him” after mistaking April for a man.
Hitting back, the vile man then said: “Him? You need your eyes testing, he is a little girl.”
Then then asked April if she wanted a drink before throwing their remaining beer at her as the man begin to tug at his belt and unzip his jeans.
April then began to get up and attempt to flee the situation as the man in question continued to unbuckle his trousers with a plan to urinate on her.
The homeless teen managed to get away with the man shouting a shocking comment to her, having already referenced one vile act.
As he tugged at his jeans once more, he remarked: “Fancy earning yourself a quick fiver, do you?”
The scene then cut back to April as she looked on in fear inside the pub.
But will April tell everyone about her encounter with the vile man?
Or will it be another secret she is forced to live with from her time on the streets?
On her 16th birthday, the traumatised teen finally revealed the years of abuse to Bianca. Tony was swiftly sent to prison sentenced for 13 years.
